Conversation with Ilya Ponomarev, former member of Russian State Duma, currently in exile and living in Kiev, Ukraine for voting against Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. Mr. Ponomarev feels that economic sanctions against Russia will cause Russian people to rally around Putin, while personal sanctions against particular individuals, which are effective, need to be widened. When it comes to corruption, Ponomarev says that Ukraine is less corrupt than people think, and that while Russian corruption is very "orderly", corruption in Ukraine is very chaotic "as is everything here". In the end tho, corruption in Ukraine helps the democratization of the country since no one can monopolize the power according to Ponomarev. That and more, only on Rashkin Report! Recorded for broadcast on 91.7 FM WSUW in Whitewater, Wisconsin.
